Access to the main functions of www.425dxn.org is provided by the 425DXN App
for Android. It is available on Google Play - free of charge, no ads. Enjoy!
CQ DX MARATHON ---> The CQ DX Marathon is a year-long DX hunt, with
participants competing to see who can work the greatest number of countries
("entities") and CQ zones during the calendar year. Complete results of the
2017 edition are on http://www.dxmarathon.com/Results/2017/Results2017.htm.
IARU REGION III 50TH ANNIVERSARY ---> HS50IARU (QSL via LotW, Club Log's
OQRS or via the bureau) and BV50IARU (QSL via BV2FP) are the special
callsigns for the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) and the Chinese
Taipei Amateur Radio League (CTARL) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
IARU Region 3 [425DXN 1410] until 31 October. See http://awards-iaru-r3.org
for information on the awards issued free of charge for working these and
other commemorative special callsigns.
KH1/KH7Z: PROPAGATION FORECASTS ---> The 2018 DXpedition to Baker Island
[425DXN 1413] occurs during the declining side of the solar cycle where
propagation is usually much, much worse, nearing the bottom. "However, this
is the when our permit is valid", the KH1/KH7Z team says, "and we are
planning to maximize the time we are available to work to propagation
challenged areas".
Thanks to Stu, K6TU, "we have imbedded his tools in our website where you
Can run forecasts specific to your grid square and station properties.
Please visit http://www.baker2018.net/pages/propagation.html to see when and
on what bands to look for us. We have also run these forecasts by geographic
area to know when we should be listening for you". The pilots will also
report how well we are being heard in the various areas to keep the team
abreast of propagation.
"Our permit restricts our antennas to 43 ft vertical antennas", and "we will
be using Steppirs and special design antennas to take advantage of the salt
water ground". KH1/KH7Z will also be using FT8 "to find openings we might
not hear, and to serve as a beacon. When we find an opening, we will put as
many radios, modes, operators on as we can".
Make sure you read 'WORKING KH1/KH7Z USING THE FT8 DXPEDITION SUBMODE'
(http://www.baker2018.net/pages/plan.html) which describes how the team
intends to operate as the 'Fox' and how they recommend all the 'Hounds'
operate.
KH1/KH7Z will stay on 20 meters continuously and jump to other bands from
one of the other 7 operating positions. The 15 operators will rotate on and
off in 3 hour shifts. "We have one goal, maximize the number of ATNO QSOs
with this 5th most wanted entity".
NA-234 ---> The OQRS for the 25-27 May KL7RRC/p operation is now up and
running on https://clublog.org/logsearch/KL7RRC/P/2018. Tim, NL8F and Yuri,
N3QQ made 2,255 QSOs operating from Chuginadak Island (not Kagamil as
previously announced).
OC-164 ---> The OQRS for VK5CE/6's operation from Rottnest Island (2 June)
is up and running on https://clublog.org/logsearch/vk5ce/6_oc164.
TRUE BLUE DXERS CLUB ---> "Because it' hard, not because it's easy" is the
True Blue DXers Club's motto. "The one and only requirement is your personal
commitment to pursuing and promoting DXing as a form of person-to-person
amateur radio activity involving the use of radiotelegraphy (CW) or
radiotelephony (SSB). Therefore, if you enjoy FT8, we wish you all the very
best in your ham radio activity, but the TBDXC is probably not for you". See
https://www.tbdxc.net/ for more information.
WRTC 2018 ---> The designated Team Leader for Team Africa has withdrawn
owing to personal reasons, and he will be replaced by a "wild card"
competitor. Wild card applications ("please explain why you are applying as
TL") for the now open position with DL1CW as teammate should be sent to
qualification[@]wrtc2018.de. The deadline is 9 June at 23.59 UTC.
